Our Mission
Building Bridges every day that invite people into real relationship with Jesus & each other.
Bridges help us travel beyond our personal limitations. They close the gap! At Frisco First, we are committed to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with our city and world. We maximize our daily opportunities to reach people by meeting the tangible needs around us and connecting with people where they are. As we serve our city and church family, we build relationships. And, when our lives are centered on Jesus, we reflect His love in all we do.
Our Values
Our values define our priorities and motivate us to action.
Our values guide us, individually and as a church. They point us toward daily action and are our filters for decision-making.
OUR CORE VALUES
We Build Life on God's Truth
2 Timothy 3:15–16
The Bridge to God’s Truth
Building bridges to God’s truth is a priority of our lives as believers. We desire to teach God’s Word unashamedly in every part of our church. Frisco First teaches a practical and biblically centered message with an emphasis on applying truth to daily life. Our church builds bridges to God by the teaching and living out of the Word in our daily lives. We hope to impact our community by demonstrating biblical truth, both individually and corporately.
OUR CORE VALUES
We Walk in Each Other's Shoes
Galatians 6:2
A Bridge to Authentic Relationships
Connecting bridges of families that are Christ-centered, we embrace the opportunity to cultivate real relationships through discipleship, community, LIFEgroups, families, and bridge training. At Frisco First, we’re not afraid walk in each other’s shoes and embrace life one day at a time in a relaxed environment. We love people and realize that the only way to experience abundant life is by relational wellness, first with God and then with each other.
OUR CORE VALUES
We Serve Our City First
Acts 1:8
The Bridge to Serving Others
Every member of Frisco First has a generous heart to love and serve our city first. With a rich history of service, we warmly welcome the community and hope each one feels a sense of belonging. Centering on service helps the church equip every generation to have compassion for people and love others. There are many people who simply have not heard the life changing message of the Gospel and we are committed to building bridges to invite others into a personal relationship with Jesus.
OUR CORE VALUES
We Maximize Our Daily Opportunity
Ephesians 5:15–16
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Ephesians 5:15-16 (NLT)
OUR CORE VALUES
We Give Because It Matters
Matthew 6:19–21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21

LIFE IN THE CHURCH
Baptism
Baptism doesn’t "wash your sins away" or make a person a Christian.
Rather, Baptism is an outward expression of a personal faith and decision to follow Jesus as savior and Lord.
LIFE IN THE CHURCH
The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper is a symbol of obedience whereby believers, through partaking of the bread & "fruit of the vine", memorialize the death of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and anticipate His second coming.
We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the fifth Sunday of the month when one occurs.
